The film’s endearing plot, coupled with the stellar performances of the cast, made it a fan favourite in the romantic comedy genre.

The success of Celine Song’s previous projects, including the critically acclaimed ‘Past Lives’, has further piqued interest in the upcoming sequel. Song’s unique storytelling style and ability to craft engaging narratives have positioned her as a promising talent in the industry.
